Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low / medium-low, and allow the mixture to gently simmer, uncovered, until the cranberries begin to soften slightly, for about 7-8 minutes
Turn off the heat, and pour the cranberry mixture into a clean bowl, and allow it to cool completely (the mixture will continue to thicken up due to the natural pectins in the fruit, as it cools)

Use a spatula to fold in the flour, salt, and cranberries and mix fruits.The batter will be quite thick. Spread gently into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 min
Cool for 20 minutes then run a knife around the inside edge of the pan and remove the cake. Cool for an hour before serving.
